July 2, 2025 - Mi Patio Mexican Restaurant - Phoenix, Arizona

 

I met my friend Sylvia here for lunch.  I ordered the Chimi with Machaca Beef served with sour cream, fresh guacamole, cheese and I chose beans.  It was very good but I do have one complaint.  I like my chimi fried crisp…and this one wasn’t…I guess the next time I order one…I will have to tell them to put the sour cream and guacamole on the side.

June 8, 2025 - Creekside Tavern - Christopher Creek, Arizona

Sylvia and had drive a long time.  We were getting close to home.  We were hungry so we stopped for a bite to eat and early dinner.

I ordered the Taverne Cheeseburger – I chose the Swiss as my cheese…came with tomato, lettuce, onion on a toasted bun…and I chose tater tots for my side…perfect meal.

 It was a lovely meal out in the middle of the beautiful pine trees.  It was sunny and warm.

June 8, 2025 - Pippo's Cafe - Cortez, Colorado

 My friend Sylvia and I found this cafe for our early Sunday morning breakfast as we were about to leave Cortez and head home.

I ordered two eggs, 4 pieces of bacon – crispy, hashbrowns, rye toast.  It was a very good breakfast.  The service was superb.  It was a nice small local cafĂ©. Just what one needs on early Sunday morning as I is about to leave town.
